Multi-component lawn and garden handle

Abstract

A multi-component handle for use with an implement such that various handle sections can be connected together through various connectors in a multitude of different ways to obtain a handle configuration desired by the user for a particular application. As shown in the application, the grip portions of the handle may be configured in a plurality of positions allowing the handle to be used for a variety of different implements. Further, the handle includes a center section which may be added to conventional shaft handles to add variable grip portions in a simple and efficient manner.

I claim:  
     
       1. A handle for attachment to an implement comprising: 
       a shaft section having one end thereof configured such that an implement may be attached thereto;  
       a center section;  
       a first connector connecting said shaft section to said center section; an upper section;  
       a second connector connecting said center section to said upper section; and  
       said center section includes a first skewed section, a transverse section and a second skewed section, said transverse section positioned between said first and second skewed sections.  
     
     
       2. A handle as set forth in claim  1  wherein said upper section includes a grip portion. 
     
     
       3. A handle for attachment to an existing implement handle comprising a first skewed section, a transverse section and a second skewed section interconnected such that said transverse section is positioned between said first and said second skewed sections; said implement handle including a first longitudinal section positioned adjacent and connected to said first skewed section, said first longitudinal section having one end thereof configured such that the existing implement handle may be attached thereto and a second longitudinal section positioned adjacent and connected to said second skewed section. 
     
     
       4. A handle for attachment to an implement comprising: 
       a shaft section having one end thereof configured such that the implement may be attached thereto;  
       a center section including at least one skewed section and a transverse section and an upper section;  
       a first connector disposed between and releasably securing said center section to said shaft section; and  
       a second connector disposed between and releasably securing said upper section to said center section.  
     
     
       5. A handle as set forth in claim  4  wherein said first connector includes a link having opposite ends, and a detent pin on each end thereof. 
     
     
       6. A handle as set forth in claim  4  wherein said second connector includes a link having opposite ends, and a detent pin on each end thereof. 
     
     
       7. A handle as set forth in claim  5  wherein said link includes a pivot, said pivot including a pair of complementary surfaces formed on said link. 
     
     
       8. A handle as set forth in claim  6  wherein said link includes a pivot, said pivot including a pair of complementary surfaces formed on said link.
